Always wanted to learn CNC so last fall I built my own machine.
x/y/z axis run on linear ball bearings on Thompson shafting. I used a Xylotec driver board which connected to the printer port of my laptop.
The goal was to make my home built wire EDM CNC controlled. Now I'm having so much fun the the CNC mill, I doubt the EDM with ever be converted. The wire EDM has to many original features to be changed
